Longer time off from work so I got some time to play. Gave my old PS4 for my sister's kids as a present and bought a PS4 Pro for myself. After testing it with RDR 2 and Death Stranding this game felt like a great choice for first full playthrough. This was just fun Star Wars experience overall. It was hard (played it throught on the second hardest difficulty after almost losing my mind on Dathomir. Made a mistake and went there first when the map opened up. Then gave up literally on the last enemy and swithed planets :D) and at times I almost rage quitted. Also I added some difficulty to the game by not upgrading my stims at all. The game is beautiful and the score is beautiful too they really captured the John Williams feel for it but also it was a fresh new thing too. The characters are great additons to Star Wars lore and the story was good and enjoyable even thought nothing super fresh feeling. The gameplay could've used some months to nicely polish it though I hated the camera, and jumping & climbing around = Uncharted style traversing. Because unlike in those games the it felt really awful and unresponsive. Let's just say the game made me curse a lot. The combat also felt bit unfair (I haven't played the Souls games so I compared to it to Witcher 3 on hardest difficulty. Which is hard but the combat also feels fair) at times and the awful camera didn't help at all. The way the enemies would snap target to you in mid-evade move was just... I did have to switch my combat playstyle to fit better. Also I saw so many t-poses and popping-in graphics while playing this so the game definitely still needs some updates to fix those. Even with those fixed the combat and traversing would be negative things in this game for me. But overall this game was just fun Star Wars story, the lenght of the game was perfect and left me wanting more. There were really nice set pieces and the cutscenes were great.

What an weird experience. The gameplay is so repetitive as arte the small cutscenes (especially those that you have to watch as the game loads the BT's in for example) that you just contantly run into delivering packages. The fighting mechanics feel so much like MGS(big suprise there) so they can be bit clunky.I started the game with the hardest difficulty but I really didn't feel any hard until I played the first WW trench battle and the couldn't see the enemies because the guns in my back and the way the camera just acts in the tight space. So I just dropped the difficulty because I just wanted to experience the weirdness of the story and felt like the gameplay isn't that hard until it spikes at the clunky gunfights that I didn't really have outside the fights with Mads Mikkelsen. Those battleground set pieces are just epic. And the game overall might be visually speaking one of the best that I've ever played. The cutscenes and mo-cap/facial animations or capture are just done so perfectly in this game. When they get the long hair physics and better the lighting effects even further the uncanny valley isn't far off. I decided to finish the game this year and played all nighter to finish it. The ending ramped up everything and this was the weird experience that I was expecting from free from konami Kojima game, after seeing the first trailers and getting some info about the game. There's cheesy melodrama, action and actually just really great family drama. The performances are great (the cameos are so weird) and the story is just so Kojima it's perfect. The score is also just beautiful.
